What they say
"We are delighted with the collection of stories. They have been wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated and thanks to their experience in publishing, Stills were a valuable member of the project team. We can´t wait to launch Tales & Trails to the public."
Ieuan Sherwood
Rural Development Manager, Bridgend Council
"I am extremely proud of our new brand identity. It has been 14 years since we´ve looked at the Gardners brand and we feel the restyled Gardners "G" and colour palette chosen by Stills better reflect the position and influence Gardners has within our industry. The overall branding exercise has been valuable and exciting for all those concerned and has made us look very closely at our operation and how we are perceived in the market place. We are going to use all the information generated from this project to improve internal and external communication, our service levels and our perception within the industry. We regard this as a very significant step in our 35 year history.
I would particularly like to thank Stills who identified precisely Gardners unique characteristics. Having had some disappointing experiences with design agencies in the past, Stills has completely surprised me and I am thrilled and relieved to find that the whole rebranding project was handled in a totally professional manner. We look forward to working with Stills in the future."
Richard Gardner
Managing Director and Chairman, Gardners
"We have worked with Chris, David and the team at Stills over many years. We value their creativity and the understanding that they have of our ethos and business is evident in the work that they produce. We often need material to tight deadlines and they consistently deliver a high quality product on time and we trust them to deliver.
We are also very pleased with the innovative solutions and the “can do” attitude that they bring to every project adding value to our business."

“At long last and after all your hard work we have had the delivery of the DNA catalogues into Verco and they look great! We’ve already had a lot of positive comments on the overall style and feel and in addition on the photography taken in the factory. It seems to have given the range a different ‘character’ and position to the standard furniture product offering from some of our competitors. I hope you are equally pleased with it. Once again many thanks for a great job!”
Chris Riley
Sales and Marketing Director, Verco
"If, like in a marriage, longevity is proof of happiness in business then our 15 year relationship with Stills would suggest that all in the garden is rosy!
As a team, they have developed a very good understanding of the requirements of our business needs and have always sought to balance their creative thinking with our desire for pragmatic solutions. They will argue with us for what they think is right and that illustrates their passion for what they do.
Apart from their technical capabilities, they are also a thoroughly decent bunch of people to work with."
Jonathan Smith
Business Development Director, Castleoak Care Homes
"Stills has worked closely with Tŷ Hafan developing our new brand – and that was no simple task, but it was one that Stills was uniquely competent to tackle. They shared our belief that our brand should reflect our brand values and the first task was to identify those brand values though market research and to agree a brand blueprint. Stills then created a brand which has received general acclaim and of which we are hugely proud. They also continued their involvement with further implementation, brand and language guidelines ensuring consistent delivery. We were very pleased with Stills’ determination to understand us and indeed to help us understand ourselves. This dedication combined with professionalism ensured a very positive outcome."

“The quality of Stills’ creative work is a key factor, but it’s their flexibility, responsiveness, reliability, knowledge and helpfulness which really stands out.”

"As an Irish company, it was always going to be a challenge to engage with the architect and design community in London. The highly targeted and refined solutions provided by Stills have enabled us to successfully achieve that goal."
Paul Farrell
Operations Director, Farrell
"Stills is something very different and definitely the best designers and set up that I have experienced. I felt that Stills really listened to what I had to say, and took time to research further information that was appropriate to the rebrand of our company, they could understand exactly what we were looking for and were interested in what we had to say. An excellent and professional service received."
Penny Chapman
Managing Director, Educ8
"Stills effectively took ownership of the repositioning and rebranding of Boss… a development which saw our turnover double within a year."
Marc Le Peltier
Commercial Director, Boss
"Proving their ability to apply their creativity in practical situations, Stills have cleverly developed and adapted our new visual identity to fit our 12 very different showrooms, our fleet of delivery vehicles, advertising, stationery, website… the list goes on. We now have a fresh, contemporary corporate identity which we are confident will prove pivotal in our ambitious plans for expansion."
